Special Message From Don Allan
Hi, this is a message from Don in regards to the latest crime alert photos. I have deleted the post as requested.

Hi All,
Yesterday afternoon I posted a wanted alert out for two people at an address in Onehunga seen unlawfully on a property.
I have identified the Male and Female pictured in the images and after speaking to them can confirm that they are of no interest to Police and that their behaviour was innocent and are in fact upstanding residents in our community
The number plate that appeared to have been altered was a result of a rust and dirt which along with initial information appeared very suspicious.
I would like to apologise for any unnecessary stress of concern caused to the couple posted and also thank them for bringing this to my attention as soon as possible.
I would also ask for this image to be removed from the Onehunga Neighbourly post as soon as possible to avoid any unnecessary bias towards the people posted.
Thank you to members of my Community Watch Network for the support you provide the Police with your nominations.
With your support we have been provided over 300 positive nominations for people posted in these images of whom many were engaged in criminal activity.
If your image does appear in any of my posts and you believe that you may have been identified in error please contact me immediately.
Please remember that all people posted are not guilty of any crime, but are required to be spoken to, to assist with police enquiries.
Kind regards
Don
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
